What is said to be the first 30x zoom camera module with a global shutter sensor is being displayed on 8146 Tamron Europe’s stand. Global shutters remove (or minimise) the blur associated with rolling shutters capturing fast-moving objects such as vehicles (as also illustrated on Tamron’s stand).
Designated the MP2030M-GS, the module uses a 32mm (1.125inch) 3.2 megapixel Sony global shutter sensor with a digital (LVDS) output or a composite output in the CVBS format. The remotely activated zoom lens ranges in focal length from 6mm (60° angle of view) to 180mm (2.5°) and can be automatically or manually focussed.
At 60fps the picture output can be either 1920x1080 or 1280x720 and electronic image stabilisation, defog features and a wide dynamic range make the unit well suited to outdoor applications. Synchronisation with external triggers (loops, radar or visual) can be configured using the random trigger mode.
Lens manufacturer Tamron and visions system integrator Macq have signed a deal to produce a new camera.
Tamron is providing the lens, while Belgium-based Macq is providing the housing and the electronics boards – and will sell the camera as its own product.
Powered by artificial intelligence, the traffic sensor can be used for all kinds of applications, Macq says. These include: traffic monitoring, automatic make and model recognition, speed control, parking and automatic number plate recognition.
